حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْعَتَکِيُّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيکٌ عَنْ أَبِي فَزَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ مَا فِي إِدَاوَتِکَ قَالَ نَبِيذٌ قَالَ تَمْرَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَمَائٌ طَهُورٌ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد و قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَنْ أَبِي زَيْدٍ أَوْ زَيْدٍ کَذَا قَالَ شَرِيکٌ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ هَنَّادٌ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 84
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Abu Zayd quoted Abdullah ibn Masud as saying that on the night when the jinn listened to the Quran the Prophet ﷺ said: What is in your skin vessel? He said: I have some nabidh. He (the Holy Prophet) said: It consists of fresh dates and pure water. Sulayman ibn Dawud reported the same version of this tradition on the authority of Abu Zayd or Zayd. But Sharik said that Hammad did not mention the words "night of the jinn".
